silient mein The invention consists in the novel donstruction, combination, and arrangement of parts, hereinafter described, pointed out in the claims, and illustrated in the accompanyi'ngg' drawing, in which: y

' igure 1 represents a vertical section of a loose-leaf book, provided with my improve ments. Fig. 2 is an enlarged vertical section of the samein an open condition. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a pair of hookrcarrying members, forming part of the invention.

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a pair of reers for holding thehooks in an open or closed condition. Fig-5 1s a perseveral parts together. as

5 designates a series of segmental hooks, fixed at their lower ends upon members 3. The upper ends of one set of l100l($ l121\'8 V-shaped tongues 6,- adapted to engage V-shaped grooves 7 in the upper ends of the air of hook-carrying mem Lpivotally opposing members, so that when the hooks are in a closed condition they will be held in alinement with each other.

at their a pair of resilient members Patented Nov. 24, 1908 I held from Ion itudinal movement by recesses a1, and provi ed with out-turned wings 9, which overlap the adjacent sides of members 3, and. lopps I "members. 3. Loops 10 limit the opening movements of the hooks by contacting' with the under side of members 3, as shown in Fig. .2, and the closing movements of saii hooks by contacting with the lower portion of frame 1, asshown in Fig. 1, the loops be'ing arranged toicontact with said frame simultaneously with the engagement-of the upper ends of the hooks.

11 designates a strip of stifi ma'terial,extending the length of frame 1, and secured a, the under side thereof, by rivets 12. Said strip affords convenient means for the reception of a cover 13,which may be pasted or otherwise secured thereto.
